Hello There!
I'm Donya, a Apple Valley Photographer who specializes in family, child, and baby photography and based just west of Houston, Texas. I absolutely love telling the stories of families and children through the lens of my camera. Other things I love? Lime-green skittles, my incredible son, Ephram and amazing husband, Beau (more about them on my personal blog), a glass of white wine, and the tv show Parenthood.
This blog is a way of featuring my latest couple + family + children photography sessions, as well as sharing news about special offers you may be interested in. Thank you so much for stopping by!

Life without laughter, smiles, giggles from little ones… well, I’m just not sure I’d want to imagine what that would be like. It’s no secret that a family photo session that includes both a 2 year old and 10 month old will be a bit hectic, but these two girls were such sweethearts. I tell parents that during a photo shoot, we bend the parenting rules a bit. Treats, bribes, they’re okay for photo sessions…
